Officially a teenager again...

In May I began reading the Twilight series. I was tired of hearing everyone talk about this movie that was SO good. So Mom and I were at TJMaxx and I saw the book there and bought one. I had the book done in 3 days. I went back to TJMaxx and decided to just buy the rest of the series. I figured it would save me a trip since I liked the first book so much. Before I read the other books, I decided to go buy the movie, Twilight, since I hadn't seen it yet. Naturally, I fell in love with the movie and have watched it probably once a week since I got it. I read the other 3 books in about a week and a half. I literally could not put them down, and they are not short books. So when they showed the first previews for the second movie, New Moon back in May at an awards show, November 20th could not come soon enough. I told Kyle he didn't have a choice and that he was going to see it with me. We were going to wait til Monday to go and try to miss the rush of people, but I couldn't wait so we went Saturday afternoon with Amber and AJ. The movie.....AMAZING! I feel like a teenager in middle school again obsessed with NSYNC. It's crazy and a little embarassing, but I don't care. I'm debating asking my sister if she wants to go sometime this weekend and seeing it with me again. Pretty bad. Eclipse, the third book, comes out June 30th-Can't wait for that one either! So my advice is if you haven't seen or read the books-do it! They are equally amazing.

Other than Twilight being the love of my life right now, school is going good. We have about 2 1/2 weeks before the 1st grade program and I'm really beginning to stress out. This group of kids just really doesn't seem to care. I'm trying to get over this and realize that I can only do so much but it's hard.

I'm super excited about Thanksgiving and all the yummy food that I will get to eat with my wonderful family. Even more excited about doing some crazy shopping on Black Friday with my mom and sister, even though I really don't have money for anything. It's more the experience and spending time with the ones I love.

Hope everyone has a great holiday!

The latest and not so greatest...

The last few weeks have been pretty mild. Nothing really exciting happening other than the fact that I've ended up spending the past few weekends pretty much by myself because Kyle's been hanging out with the guys and awfully lot. Oh well. It's good to have some alone time I guess.

I finished my 4th grad school class today. Only a year left! I can't wait. I've heard our next class is quite demanding and a challenge so I'm a little nervous about that, but oh well.

Work is going good. I have started working diligently on the first grade program. It's funny how quickly I forgot how hard and busy this time of year is with making sure everything is on schedule and flowing smoothly with the program. I'm really looking forward to December 10th, when it's all over.

I started tutoring another student, a 5th grade girl. It's a lot of fun. She's a really sweet girl. It's also nice to be making some quick, easy money.

There's not really a whole lot more that's new. Just looking forward to the New Moon premiere. Kyle and I are going with AJ and Amber to see it the Monday after it comes out. I can't wait! Kyle doesn't really share my enthusiasm but I don't care.

I'm getting excited about the holiday season. Everyone is starting to put out Christmas decorations already! I love this time of year-most of all the happy atmosphere and moods that almost everyone gets in. I'm definitely looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner first though. MMMmmm....

Take care for now...
